Quote: Although its collection can be overwhelming, this is one thing you really need to see in Rome. You work your way through the Egypt and Etruscan collections, a room of tapestries, and suddenly... wow. The Raphael rooms. Even if you know nothing about... Read the full Vatican Museums review

The Vatican Museum
Quote: This is one of the greatest collections of art in the world. Too many people rush through the rest of the museum just to see the Sistine Chapel, however. For a good overview of the museum, you'll need to allot at LEAST 2 1/2 hours to see... Read the full Vatican Museums review

Quote: Visiting the Vatican Museum complex is one of the most thrilling experiences I've had--so much history, so much beauty...and so little time. We spent four hours there (including a quick lunch in the cafeteria) and didn't touch three-quarters of the... Read the full Vatican Museums review

Quote: There's a lot more to the Vatican's museums than the Sistine Chapel, which of course is jammed with large tour groups gawking at the ceiling. Although the recent work done on the chapel may now more effectively illuminate the masterpiece up above,... Read the full Vatican Museums review

Quote: Huge museum at the Vatican, and well worth the 18,000L to get in. The entrance spiral staircase is worth the entrance fee. My favourite gallery is the map room, which has maps of the mediterranean from the 15thc. covering the walls. It is... Read the full Vatican Museums review

  • August 27, 2000
Quote: With four miles of displays, it would take several visits before a tourist saw everything the Vatican Museum has to offer. That's why it's important to arrive early and block off enough time to tour the museum at a leisurely pace. Like so many... Read the full Vatican Museums review
